Tommy Steele: 'Thank You Very Much' -Children in Need 2004

With my everlasting thanks to Pat Richardson. Friend and President of the 'Tommy Steele Society UK'.

Tommy here sings his role of 'Scrooge' on Children in Need.

This was the performance which hooked me, and made me an ardent Tommy Steele fan. On watching it back now, it's sad to see that he's miming! All the best ones do it, clearly!

This video is my "happy place"...I have an extremely stressful job and when I come home every night, I pull this up and the anxieties of the day don't have a chance.... Watching Tommy makes me ridiculously happy.....

[slinkythemoondancer]

I'll be wearing this video out the way I did my soundtracks.... Tommy, you're fantastic,,,, (as if he'll ever read this.....)

@Ingvillc Tommy's twinkling eyes....ah yes, they're transformed my whole skeletal structure into a big blissful blob of goo on innumerable occasions...and so incredibly expressive.... merriment, confusion, sadness, anxiety, tenderness.... the man is magic, what can I say..... (actually a lot more )...

@Ingvillc There is NO one like Tommy....(end of statement, anyone who disagrees with me, no offense, is just plain flat out WRONG and every unbiased bone in my body will confirm that fact)

Cotinue from my last post a few more words Tommy Steele is still as charming as he was in his younger days as I said with his charming smile and twinkeling eyes that still charmes me he is great I wish I culd meet him and talk to him face to face it would have been great but that is a thing that I yeast can dream about I yeast love him.

I am glad to see that i am not the only one that still has a crush on the great and very hansom Tommy Steele even if he is long before my time but I have always been a big fan of music from the 50,60 and 70 I haven t heard or seen Tommy Steele for a long time but fell for him agen when I saw finians ranbow and the happiest millionear agen so now I cant stop listening to his songs and see his movies agen and agen he is great and still as hansom as he was in his younger years with his smile.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO ON THE INTERNET BAR NONE...

[slinkythemoondancer]

For me, this isn't just a video... it's an Experience.... no, more than that....

Every time I watch it, it's a... CELEBRATION.....

Big, silly, grin on my face and deliriously happy to know Tommy is still everything he was over forty years ago and a lot more besides....hard to explain.....

[slinkythemoondancer]

And, Tommy, may The Lord bless you and your loved ones for all the happiness you've given to us, your fans....

(Wish I could tell him that in person, but I'd probably be too choked up to do more than squeak at him in awe...)

[slinkythemoondancer]

What had captured my heart as a 12-year-old was no less valid over forty years later....

Tommy's undeniably a lot older, but he's still TOMMY, the years haven't taken anything away from him, that's for certain....and it makes me incredibly happy to know he's still sharing his gifts with the world.......

Thank YOU very much, operathephantom,for uploading this video. You have no idea of the joy you've brought to this (not so) old lady'........
